    If anyone is wondering about the name, the symbol is a doppelkreuz, so it's likely pronounced "Asuka R Doppelkreutz". The character is a doppelganger of Asuka R. Kreutz that is doing his bidding on Earth while the real Asuka continues podcasting on the Moon, it is said that he does this because actually doing it himself is too physically taxing for him.

You can use your resources to lockdown enemy in the corner, but every tiesday of every second month of each season you jave to get additional chrges to activate "Destiny shift" that will decide the outcome of the match automatically with 50% of activating "Full Throttle", that gives you a buff if you didn't forget to pray to lord before bed.

    Thank goodness that arguably the most important character in the entire series, the one who set all events in Guilty Gear into motion, is complex as hell and an absolute wonder to behold.
    This is what I wanted when I heard "That Man" was coming to Strive, an almost mythological character that works outside of the rules any of us even know. The mechanics behind this character puts Zato to shame. Bedman literally trembles in fear when reading the moveset alone, and there's an entire spell sheet too.
    To me, Asuka R# mains are literally gonna be the rulers of the Strive player base. Witnessing anyone that can make this character work by using strategy within a game in an entire other game will be a truly humbling experience. It's like realizing your character is nothing but a wet pool noodle, and you're fighting a character God himself has sponsored.
